Martel & Sons Inc.
Five generations of craftsmanship, tradition, and innovation.
After arriving from Vermont, Napoléon Martel settled in Vankleek Hill with his wife and children, where he founded Martel & Sons Inc. The company began by crafting granite and marble monuments and installing them in cemeteries, laying the foundation for a family tradition that continues today.
In 1940, following his father’s passing, Arthur took over the family business. He continued the company’s work in the manufacturing, polishing, engraving, and installation of headstones, while expanding its services. During this time, the company introduced hand-carved inscriptions performed directly in cemeteries.
In 1947, after Arthur’s passing, Jean-Réal assumed leadership of Martel & Sons Inc. The company was entering a period of significant growth, employing 12 people in the workshop along with a network of 21 traveling sales representatives serving an expanding customer base.
After earning a specialization in Business Administration from the University of Ottawa, André assumed leadership of the family business in 1983 following his father’s passing. Under his guidance, Martel & Sons Inc. experienced strong growth, gained recognition across several Canadian provinces, and diversified its operations with the introduction of granite countertop manufacturing.
In 2022, Martel & Fils Inc. was officially passed on to the next generation when André’s children, Julien and Aude, assumed leadership of the family business. Julien, who earned his Master of Business Administration (MBA) in 2016, now leads the company, which focuses primarily on the sale, manufacturing, and installation of funeral and cremation monuments. Aude also joined the team after completing graduate studies in social work and working in the field for five years. Together, they continue to grow the business while carrying forward the family tradition.
Funeral monuments crafted by talented professionals who are recognized in their field.
